Lu Chen took another look at Xiao Wenyao. She was dressed in a white gown inside with a dark green robe over it, her black hair shining and draped at her waist, her head adorned with a single hairpin. She looked no different from a sheltered young lady from Great Xia.

Standing together, Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao resembled a mother and her daughter.

Coming back to his senses, Lu Chen smiled slightly before saying, “I didn’t expect you two to become even more beautiful after getting dressed up. It seems I am quite fortunate.”

Hearing this, both Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao’s cheeks flushed with a hint of red.

This was the first time they had dressed completely in the style of Great Xia, and they hadn’t expected to become more beautiful in the attire of Great Xia.

When they had looked at themselves in the bronze mirror earlier, they were immediately astounded by their own beauty.

Previously, they would wrap themselves tightly in fur coats and occasionally wear fur hats, which totally concealed their figures and beauty.

At that moment, Wang Qingci, sitting on a wall of the courtyard and brimming with a smile, said, “Congratulations, Prince, on acquiring two new beauties!”

Hearing this, Lu Chen turned to look at Wang Qingci, who was sitting atop the courtyard wall, and replied, “Mr. Wang isn’t busy managing the affairs of the Rain-listening Pavilion and instead comes here for entertainment?”

With an air of someone who couldn’t be scalded by boiling water, Wang Qingci said, “The Prince is so fierce; I am very scared.”

“I heard that the Prince took in two female slaves, so I wanted to come and see what my sisters look like.”

Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao felt somewhat astonished by the dialogue between Wang Qingci and Lu Chen.

The red-clothed woman, sitting so casually on the courtyard wall, was actually a female slave of the North Prince?

Are the female slaves of the North Prince Mansion so bold as to speak to their master, the North Prince, in such a manner?

Xiao Wenyao thought of the slaves at her own royal court; if any slave dared to speak to her in that way, they would not need to wait for her to act, as the other slaves would beat that disrespectful slave half to death.

At this time, Wang Qingci glanced at Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao, continuing with a smile, “It seems the Prince still remembers what I mentioned before— that the royal court of the Barbarian Tribe has beautiful women.” 𝓯𝓇𝘦𝘦𝑤ℯ𝓫𝑛𝓸𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓶

When Lu Chen first arrived in North City, he had asked if there were any beautiful women in North City. At that time, Wang Qingci informed him that there were beautiful women in the royal court of the Barbarian Tribe.

At that time, Wang Qingci was the Tower Master of the Hundred Flowers Tower and the Saintess of the Misty Pavilion, dealing with a huge amount of information every day, so she had some understanding of the Barbarian Tribe’s royal court and knew that the Sky Wolf King’s wife was especially beautiful.

Upon meeting them today, Wang Qingci was also amazed by Yelv Nanyan’s appearance, feeling completely incomparable to her.

The mature charm that Yelv Nanyan exuded was something she did not possess, and she was well aware that Lu Chen particularly fancied this kind of beauty, like that of Yelv Nanyan and Chu Yuqin.

Whenever Chu Yuqin was mentioned in front of Lu Chen, he became as excited as if he’d been injected with rooster’s blood, turning extremely ferocious.

Wang Qingci then hopped down from the wall, her light figure gracefully touching the ground; she then approached Lu Chen and whispered in his ear, “Prince, has the Brocade Guard received any news about the Great Jue Dynasty? There have been some movements from the Great Jue Dynasty recently.”

Wang Qingci came here not simply to idle chat with Lu Chen. As the Tower Master of the Rain-listening Pavilion, she was responsible for collecting intelligence on various dynasties and nations for Lu Chen—she didn’t have time to come here and chat about women with him.

Startled by Wang Qingci’s words, Lu Chen paused for a moment.

At present, most of the Brocade Guard were distributed within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, with few members in other dynasties, and he indeed had not heard about any unusual activities from the Great Jue Dynasty.

The Great Jue Dynasty was close to North City, located in the southwest corner. Although it was a newly founded dynasty and quite poor and weak, it was still a neighbor to North City, and Lu Chen was bound to keep track of their movements.

Lu Chen had been dealing with the affairs in North City recently and had almost paid no attention to the Great Jue Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the Rain-listening Pavilion had managed to infiltrate the Great Jue Dynasty in such a short time, reflecting Wang Qingci’s high efficiency.

Lu Chen then asked, “I haven’t sent any Brocade Guards to the Great Jue Dynasty yet. Tell me directly whatever movements they have.”

Wang Qingci replied, “The Great Jue Dynasty has been mobilizing troops continuously for half a month, and now they’ve stationed two hundred thousand troops at the border between Great Xia and North City.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled and then said, “Is the Great Jue Dynasty under the impression that I want to attack them?”

Lu Chen didn’t believe that the Great Jue Dynasty would invade Great Xia at this time. The Barbarian Tribe’s army of three hundred thousand had just been annihilated by North City. As a recently established dynasty, the Great Jue Dynasty would not dare make a sudden move against Great Xia.

The actions of the Great Jue Dynasty were most likely defensive against North City.

With such a colossal entity appearing to their north, it was impossible for them not to be concerned at all.

It wasn’t just the Great Jue Dynasty’s stationing of two hundred thousand troops—inside Great Xia itself, the various seigniors were also stationing troops in areas adjoining North City.

For instance, the Qi Prince had, just over a month ago, upon hearing that five thousand Heavy Cavalry sent by Lu Chen to pick up Mu Zixuan and the others had just left Anping City, immediately moved the fifty thousand troops from his territory to the northern border overnight.
